Music Artist for July 2017: Erin O’Dowd

Erin O’Dowd is an Americana singer from Tulsa, Oklahoma. She writes songs woven with timeless tales of love and loss wrapped up in an endless sense of longing and adventure. She recently returned from a tour of New York City and Ontario and will be releasing her debut album, Old Town, this fall on Horton Records. Okie favorite Travis Linville is producing and playing on the project, and O’Dowd recently completed a successful Kickstarter campaign to fund it.

“Playing music in the Oklahoma scene has been an absolute dream. I can’t imagine coming from anywhere else. There are an incredible amount of encouraging artists and fans here who are all about the music and who set a great example for anyone to follow. I’ve always been a songwriter, but the Red Dirt crew has taught me how to be a performer and how to lead a band. I couldn’t be more grateful for my roots or more proud to call this place my home.”
